“I’ve found with pregnancy, this being my second one, that the less I move, the worse things are,” says Mollie Estes, Mind and Body Coordinator for CoxHealth Fitness Centers. Estes says there are some simple exercises that will help you avoid hip and back pain. Get moving. Stay active. Keep walking.

Why would an employee ever turn down a $200 a month raise? Jody Dow with The Springfield Dream Center explains the “Cliff Effect” that exists in the state of Missouri for people who are employed and on state or federal assistance. “You may be getting $500 in food stamps, and your raise is only increasing your pay that month by $200. Well, that’s a $300 discrepancy.” In the state of Missouri, assistance is all or nothing. The Dream Center helps workers in this situation learn how to prepare for in advance for a pay increase that results in a gap in monthly income.
